Okay youse guys! I already had one POLL end up in Comedy Central, don't want that to happen to this one!

Please! You who feel that all the world hates you...we desperately need your wonderful nasty comments! Come on now, there must be somebody out there who honestly feels cheated, ignored, abused--and that we're all out to get you!

Fess-up! Comment..let's get this thing rolling here!

OK! If I fess up, you're not going to send this to my parents are you. I'm already in dutch with them?

Oh! This is good Paul! Now because you're upset with your parents (or vice versa) you now feel a great hostility toward yourself here on TreasureNet...right?

Awesome! Now we're getting somewhere.

Hi Badger!

I did have an issue here a couple months back and received a couple bummer pms but that seems to have blown over, which makes me happy. With all the different personalities here, I guess there's bound to be some issues.

Hey, if you are getting bored , I can send you a "special" PM
:) :)

Smiles!

None for me either.... ;D

I receive a few at times, but mostly just asking the particulars about the Cortes, depth, features, etc.

The two people who sent the most to me are no longer active here it seems. One was 4 or 5 bricks short of a load and the other was a shameless attention-baby.
Its good to be back posting again.

Re: POLL: How Many Negative PM's Do You Receive Each Month?

Offhand I can only think of a couple over the past year or two.One had to do with me using the term "hillbilly",he took offense to it.A little ridiculous if you ask me.The other was from someone who has already answered in this thread,lol,I think that was a misunderstanding though.He read too much into my reply and assumed something that wasn't. ;) I guess typed responses come off that way sometimes.
Then there was that one guy who used to be a regular and likes to pat himself on the back alot,he still comes lurking every now and then,but he's in a class by himself.I think you guys can figure out who it was. ;D Maybe the "attention baby" that cryptodave described are one in the same. :o

Re: POLL: How Many Negative PM's Do You Receive Each Month?

All written communications are subject to personal interpretation. One of the first things they teach in law school is never put anything in print that you're not prepared to defend.

We write that which we understand to be perfectly understandable and acceptable by everyone who will read it. However, the reality is, we all understand what we read by preconceived biases.

None of us is 100% objective in our approach to anything in life, much less written communications.

The way we read something can change day by day. One day a written message may seem comforting and relaxing. A month later after having some very bad experiences, the same piece may come across as obnoxious and threatening.

Ones state-of-mind has much to do with ones interpretation of anything.

We have so many different things happening at a global site such as this one. So many different personalities and cultural backgrounds. So many different strengths and weaknesses. So many different needs and shortcomings.

It's really quite amazing that it all comes off as well as it does.
